Sex, Drugs and.......

[ford_prefect]

I've been reading the thread and i can't make my mind on the subject, I understand both sides so... how about a way to walk around the problem?

I'm thinking about releasing the game for purchase in shops in a light politically correct paternalist version, with the option to download an official upgrade 'adults only', with disclaimers, warnings, under your sole responsability, and all that stuff.

I would see it as a fair middle point... although it would solve nothing for the console gamers, probably.

And yet Deus Ex touched killable children matter.
I haven't played Deus Ex 2 but I think there also were killabe kids.

Different world? Don't give me this s**t please.
Different company without balls? Oh yeah.

Really? I haven't played either of those, could you describe it? I know they're older games, too, so how did they handle the subject?

Why do you keep dodging the question? Have you read anything I posted in here?

Wow, I've missed it

So there's one kid in the game, and it's a specific incident?

Let's see, I gave 1, one, ONE example of how you can kill kid in Deus Ex and now you're saying that there's ONE kid in the game...
What the hell?

Like I said I NEVER PLAYED THE DAMN GAME. You're the one saying it "touched killable children matter", and then when I asked you to give context, you avoid the question and give one half-assed example, leading me to believe that was the only incident in the game. I find it hard to believe that there are just kids innocently running around like they were in the town in Fallout 2, that can be targeted just the same as everyone else. I know Deus Ex is an older game, but it's still a First Person game.

See, if someone were to ask me the same question about Fallout, I'd say something like "Well, there are several kids running around the streets in some of the towns. In the Den, one of the smaller towns, kids will try to steal stuff from you. Most of them don't have much dialogue, and few of them factor into the gameplay much, but they are there. They can be targeted and killed just like any other NPC, but if you DO kill any of them, you get a big CHILDKILLER brand on your character, and basically everyone in the game will hate you, and it will be very difficult to finish the game this way." Now THAT would be giving context, it explains the consequences and it lays it out so that someone who had never played the game before can understand it. Just saying "you can shoot kids" is how games get bad reputations that they often don't deserve.

It's beens said before, and I'll re-emphasize it. It IS alot harder to have killable children in games now then it used to be, for several reasons:

That's all I was saying, but that's OK, Black and Sorrow, you can go back to your hyperbole now. Obviously I hate all violence in video games simply because I pointed out that violence against kids is something most modern games won't touch.

And here's all you need to know. I thought that 'children' = plural but it seems not for everyone.

No. Simply, there's no need of being empathic towards game-hating filth. They are violent, thoughtless thugs that are just a small part of the cancer that consumes the society.
There's no need to ask why they do it. There's no need for respecting their pathology. There's no need to give them a chance of resocialisation.
Cancer needs to be cut out.
Every one of them, bandits, murderers, abductors, rapists, game censorship lovers, child molesters, robbers, etc.
Only after the sickness is cut out, we can live in a clean and safe society.

Sorrow, while I can sympathesize with your ends, I find it hard to see how have you gotten from childkilling in a computer game to purifying the real society. So just please don't go there.

Sorry, I was trying to put things in a proper perspective and got a bit off topic .
